No, a ball can damage a car, a caravan or a person and said child could follow it under a moving vehicle, so yes, really. You need to do some reading and thinking methinks.

Simple fact as most are well aware ball gamed near caravans are prohibited. A bouncy ball on a vast tarmac area with caravans is a no!

I have never seen children cycle on this site. I find it hard to imagine me, as a child, sticking to 4mph on this area of black top. 

We have stayed a few times on the grass awning pitches at the top of the site for a few days. The rest of the site is not best suited to children.

If your children were playing with a bouncy ball near my caravan I would have insisted that they stop and would likely have had a pleasant word with the parents

Thanks for all the replies. To be clear.

1. The children were not playing ball games. My son had a bouncy ball in his ha d that when you shook it had glitter in it. It simply fell out of his hand when he shook it and gently bounced under someone’s caravan but it may well have hit it gentle underneath. Quite rightly he ran down and apologised - I also saw this happen and went down to apologise - my son ran back to the caravan as I did so - at that point I didn’t realise he was upset - this is not the actions of my family being disrespectful to others  or the children being unsupervised.

2. The bike - that’s MY fault not my sons (I saw cycling was highlighted in the attributes on the websites so assumed it wasn’t ok but didn’t read the t&c’s) so shouting aggressively at him is not the way for a civilised adult to behave nevermind what the rules state. To be clear he wasn’t shouting at him about the bike but because they were being too noisy singing - I can’t see anything in the rules to say singing is not allowed.

Both myself and another mum who was also there for the food festival and experienced similar behaviour stood outside with our children from then on to ensure any adults had someone to speak to if they were not happy - no one approached us apart from a lovely women to say she enjoyed my daughters and her friends show they did on the stand! (My son wasn’t there then as he didn’t leave the motor home as stated previously). As the last gentleman stated in the replies the best way to deal with situations is to approach the parents or the warden - not to intimidate a child or make them feel you are being aggressive towards them. Rest assured we won’t be going back with our children and I very much doubt the other family who was there will do either as they equally felt like they were on egg shells all weekend.

Best wishes

We were pitched upon the ramp during your stay ,and remember the children playing Unsupervised with the ball and the boy banging into my caravan .

Upon going outside to find out what was going on the young girls informed me that a small ball was under my van and the boy had ran into the side trying to stop it.

I then proceeded to retrieve the ball and gave them some friendly advise that it was best not to play with balls so near to peoples caravans.

I must state that i did not shout at them!

I also remember you walking past on the way back from the wash rooms and asking what had happened.when I informed you , your reply was I DON'T THINK SO!

That was until the young girls said it had and your reply was a sheepish oh sorry. 

We often travel with our grandchildren and always make sure that ball games are played well away from Caravans and if needed Supervised.

I make no judgements here but Calv’s post proves there are two sides to every story. Thanks for that, Calv.
